Ah, that assert is in mutter.
$ mkdir ~/xsrc
$ cd ~/xsrc
$ apt-get source libmutter-2-0
$ cd ~
$ apport-retrace -g _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash
(gdb) bt
...

300 case 32:
301 return PictStandardARGB32;

FWIW, that code was added in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/commit/9b903e93e3cd0601b436c55b7cea1fbecf29895f
So... uh... maybe some icon on my system is making it unhappy?
I gather gtk-update-icon-cache is involved?
buildbot@rbb-ubu1804-3:~$ ls -l /usr/share/icons/*/*.cache

But now I can't get it to crash anymore.
so maybe I accidentally fixed it by installing some package that updated the
icon caches...?
$ grep hicolor /var/log/dpkg.log
...
2018-04-24 14:42:29 status installed hicolor-icon-theme:all 0.17-2
...
2018-04-24 15:33:00 status installed hicolor-icon-theme:all 0.17-2
...
2018-04-25 09:40:43 status installed hicolor-icon-theme:all 0.17-2
Hrmf. My uneducated theory is that an icon cache was corrupt, but is fine now.
Who knows?
